Recap: Embry started to shake and transformed instantly into a werewolf, growling and snarling. Embry looked at Jasper, the look of murder in his eyes. Jasper smiled and nodded, agreeing completely.

Dekan awoke early the next morning, feeling so warm and comfortable. She tried to roll over, but found she was stuck in place. She turned her head, seeing Embry asleep on the bed beside of her on the right while Jasper and Alice were just holding each other, not moving, on her left side. Jasper and Alice smiled and mouthed "good morning". Dekan smiled and looked down, seeing that it was Embry who had the death grip on her, not really letting her move. She let herself enjoy it for a moment more before trying to wiggle out. 'I really shouldn't enjoy that. It's not safe, yet.' Dekan thought. As she struggled to slide out of Embry's grip, Embry would hold her tighter and pull her closer.
"Embry…you need to let me go…" Dekan said, trying to wake him up. Embry grunted, his hold not loosening.
"Embry. Let me go. I really have to pee and I don't want to pee all over the bed." Dekan said, Jasper and Alice chuckling softly. After a moment Embry loosened his grip enough for Dekan to slide out. She walked to the bathroom, using the facilities and coming back to the bedroom. Jasper and Alice had moved over to the couch, turning the television on. Embry was sitting up in bed, his long hair messed up.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." Dekan said, looking at Embry and chuckling. "Nice hair, by the way."
Embry ran his hands through his hair, trying to smooth it out. He smiled lazily at Dekan, happy at having basically spent the night holding her.
"What time is it?" Dekan asked, stretching.
"Almost 8. Time for school." Jasper said.
"I really don't want to go. Can't I stay home, Dad? Please! I'm sick. The dog ate my homework!" Dekan said, laughing and pointing to Embry. Alice, Jasper, and Embry all started laughing.
"I'll show you eating homework!" Embry said, rushing over to Dekan and picking her up but bending over, pretending that he was attacking and eating her. "Yum yum silly human!" Dekan squealed, laughing because Embry ended up tickling her.
"Aww aren't they adorable?" Alice whispered to Jasper, who nodded.
"Okay kids, time to scoot. School, remember?" Carlisle said from the doorway, smiling.
Embry finally let loose of Dekan, who was out of breath from laughing. "Come on, guys, let's go." Dekan said, heading for the door.
"Dekan…wait. Let's go out to eat tonight." Embry said, smiling hopefully.
Dekan looked over at Alice and Jasper who both smiled and nodded, encouraging her.
"Sure. Sounds great, Embry." Dekan said, turning back to see Embry and smiling at his smile.
"YES!" Embry said, jumping up and punching the air. Jasper and Alice laughed.
"You're acting as though Christmas came early this year." Dekan said, giggling at his excitedness.
"Don't pee on the carpet, wolf." Rosalie said, passing by the door. Embry ignored her.
"Christmas has come early. You said you'd go out with me." Embry said, as if it were completely obvious.
"As fantastic as all this is, Dekan's going to be late for school. Sam will have our heads if she doesn't go." Jasper said, ushering them downstairs.

Jerry was sitting in his truck across the street from Forks High School. He kept checking his watch, waiting for Dekan to arrive. He had already seen the girl she usually rode with along with a few of the other people she hung out with. But Dekan hadn't arrived yet. He shook his head. 'Of course she'd be absent today.' Jerry thought. He decided to stay until 9, and if she hadn't showed up by then he'd leave and try again tomorrow. Just as Jerry was about to leave, he saw another car pull into the parking lot and sure enough, Dekan and another girl and boy got out, walking to class.
"Bingo…" Jerry whispered, smiling. He waited another half hour, making sure that no one would catch him taking Dekan.
Jerry got out of the truck, heading for the school. He walked in the first building, looking for the office. He met a woman in the hallway.
"Excuse me, could you point me to the office?" Jerry asked, putting on his polite face.
"Of course, just down the hall and to the right." the woman said.
"Thank you." Jerry said, walking down the hall and hanging a right. He came up to the small office.
"I'm here to pick my daughter up. She has a doctor's appointment in ten minutes and I'm afraid I'm running late." Jerry said, smiling.
"Who is your daughter?" the receptionist asked.
"Dekan Breckinridge. She's the new student." Jerry said.
"I need to see some identification, please." the receptionist said.
"Of course." Jerry replied, pulling out his wallet and showing his driver's license.
"She'll be right out, Mr. Breckinridge." the receptionist said. A moment later, "DEKAN BRECKINRIDGE, COME TO THE OFFICE PLEASE." came over the intercom.
……
..
Dekan heard her name being called over the intercom. Bella looked over at her and Dekan shrugged, getting up and walking towards the office. Dekan figured it was probably because she was a little bit tardy. She opened the door to the office, going to the window
"Yes?" Dekan said, looking at the receptionist. She felt a presence behind her.
"Come along, Dekan, you have a doctor's appointment, remember?" Jerry said, putting his hand on the small of her back.
Dekan stiffened. Jerry. Had. Found. Her. And he was here. Taking her from school, from her safety. 'EDWARD!' Dekan screamed in her mind as Jerry steered her out of the school, praying he could read her mind from this distance. 'ALICE! JASPER! EDWARD!' her mind shouted.
"You should not have run from me, Dekan. That was very, very naughty." Jerry whispered as he opened the door to his truck, practically pushing her inside. Dekan closed her eyes, her mind screaming. 'EDWARD! JASPER! JERRY IS HERE!' she screamed in her mind. Jerry got into the driver's side, starting the truck and locking the doors.
"You will not make a scene, do you understand me? I have no reserves about shooting you." Jerry said, waving the gun around. Dekan swallowed hard and nodded, wanting to cry as he pulled away from the school. She had no sight of Edward or Jasper or Alice.
……
..
Edward looked over at Alice and Jasper. Dekan's name had been called over the intercom. Jasper seemed concerned. 'I wonder why she was called to the office.' Jasper thought, looking at Edward. Edward gave a slight shrug. 'I'm going to go check on her.' Jasper thought, getting up and speaking softly to the teacher, then walking out. Jasper ran to the office, getting there in mere seconds.
"Excuse me, is Dekan alright?" Jasper asked softly.
The receptionist looked up. "Her father picked her up for a doctor's appointment."
"Her father?" Jasper asked, his mind reeling. The receptionist nodded.
"Thank you." Jasper said, walking until he got to the door, then running back to the classroom. He got to the door of the classroom Edward and Alice were in, repeating a thought in his head. 'Jerry is here and he took Dekan! Jerry is here and he took Dekan!' he repeated until a few moments later, Edward and Alice walked out, looking panicked.
"He took her?" Alice whispered as they walked to the classroom Emmett and Rosalie were in. Jasper nodded, feeling sick.
"I'll get them." Edward whispered, walking into the classroom, citing a family emergency. Emmett and Rosalie joined them in the hallway.
"Jerry has found Dekan. He's taken her." Jasper said, his tone worried.
"We need to call Sam and tell him to alert the pack." Alice said.
"Sam is going to freak out. Oh shit…Embry…" Jasper said, wincing.
"I'll call Sam and Embry." Alice said, getting her cell phone out.
"We need to get Carlisle, too." Emmett said.
……
..
"Sam, its Alice." Alice said, biting her lip.
"What's wrong?" Sam immediately asked.
"Jerry's found Dekan. He took her from school." Alice said.
"HE WHAT?! I'm going to fucking kill him!" Sam shouted.
"You need to get your pack together and see if you can track her scent. We're getting everyone here to tracking Dekan." Alice said.
"Yeah…I'm on it." Sam said, hanging up. Alice hung up, then dialed Embry's cell phone.
"Embry?" Alice asked.
"Yeah? What's up?" Embry asked.
"Jerry…he found Dekan. He's taken her." Alice said. She only heard footsteps running and people shouting. The cell phone went dead.
……
..
Jasper, Alice, Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett met Carlisle at the house. Esme was waiting there on them.
"He just took her?" Carlisle asked.
"He just took her!" Jasper said, angry.
"Did you call Sam? And Embry?" Esme asked. Alice nodded. Not even a minute passed when Sam, Embry, Jake, Quil, Paul, Leah, and Seth burst in the house, skidding to a halt.
"Any change?" Jake asked.
"None. Can you all track her scent in your wolf form?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm sure as hell going to try!" Sam said, shaking.
"When we find them, he is mine. He is going to fucking die by my hand." Embry said, his voice deadly.
"Let us have some fun with him first." Jake said, cracking his knuckles.
"Quit talking and start changing. The longer we take the more chances he has to hurt her or kill her!" Jasper said.
One by one the Quileutes changed into giant wolves. Embry was growling dangerously, making a few of the other wolves move away from him. Just then, another wolf walked in through the open door.
"Who's that?" Emmett asked.
"That's the one that walked Dekan to Sam's the other night." Jasper said.
"Sam doesn't recognize them." Edward said, looking at the wolf.
"Who are you?" Alice asked the strange wolf.
"He says he's…he's Quil Sr." Edward said, amazed.
……
..
Jerry pulled up to his rented cabin in the woods twenty minutes later. He pulled Dekan in, holding the gun to her ribs. He threw her inside, locking the door. Dekan fell to the floor, scraping her palms. Jerry came over to her, pulling her up by her hair and dragging her to the kitchen table. Dekan saw the guns and knives lying out on the counter, a few feet from the table. She swallowed. She was going to die tonight, she was sure of it. Jasper and the rest wouldn't notice she was missing until school was out. Sam and the pack wouldn't know either until later. She would be dead by the time they figured it out. Jerry pushed her on the table, causing Dekan to bang her face on the top.
"Lay down on the table. Now!" Jerry said, pointing the gun at her. Dekan did as she was told, getting up on the table and laying down. She wasn't going to go without a fight. She leaned over at the last moment and grabbed a knife, slashing towards Jerry. She managed to cut his cheek before he could take the knife from her. He grabbed her hand and bent it backward, almost snapping it. She yelped and dropped the knife.
"You are going to fucking pay for that, bitch!" Jerry said, grabbing the knife. He held her down and tied her hands and legs to the corners of the table, pulling them back so he could tie it to the table legs. Dekan winced and cried out.
"Aren't you sorry you ran away? Aren't you sorry you let your whore of a mother let you leave?" Jerry taunted, taking his knife and slicing her shirt open. Dekan didn't reply, instead she shut her eyes.
"You fucking look at me!" Jerry screamed, taking the knife and scraping down her stomach, drawing trickles of blood. Dekan opened her eyes, forcing herself not to cry out.
"That's better. Yeah, you look at me while I make you pay." Jerry said, smiling coldly. He walked over to the counter, grabbing a smaller knife. Dekan could see it shine in the light.
"You want to know what Ronald did to me when you didn't show up?" Jerry asked, his eyes wide and angry. "He fucking raped me! He had his bodyguards tie me so he could fuck me like some sorry whore in the ass!" he shouted. Dekan breathed hard in and out.
"Now you're going to feel the pain I felt." Jerry said, cutting Dekan's pants off. He nicked her legs, thighs, and hips doing so. Purposely. That succeeded in causing Dekan to cry out again.
"And how about I scar up that pretty little face so you'll be forced to come to me for companionship hmm?" Jerry said, raising his knife to her face. She screamed as he started cutting her face.
……
..
Jasper's head whipped up suddenly. "I smell blood!" he shouted, running outside with everyone following him.
